PAGE 14 VIDEONICS DIGITAL VIDEO MIXER
■ Connect the OUTPUT monitor to the MX-1 OUTPUT jacks:
• If you will be recording the Mixer’s output (as in a video production
setup), connect the MX-1 video OUT to the VIDEO IN of the Record VCR
(B). Then connect a television or monitor to the Record VCR (A), as
described in the manual that came with the VCR.
You can use either S-video (Y/C) or composite (RCA-style) cables to
connect the MX-1 to the VCR. You can use S-video, composite, or RF
(cable/antenna) cables to connect the VCR and the television/monitor.
Connect the MX-1 audio OUT (marked L and R) to the Record VCR’s
AUDIO IN (C).
• If you will not be recording the Mixer’s output, connect the MX-1 video
OUT to the VIDEO IN of a monitor. You can use S-video (Y/C) or compos-
ite (RCA-style) cables for this connection. If you are using a television with
no VIDEO input (that is, it has only an RF (cable/antenna) jack, you will
need a VCR or an “RF modulator” to connect the MX-1 to it.
Connect the MX-1 audio OUT (marked L and R) to the monitor’s AUDIO
IN or to an external amplifier and speakers.
■ Set the OUTPUT monitor’s input switch.
If the television/monitor you are using has an input selection switch, set it
so it is displaying the correct input. For instance, if you have connected to
the monitor’s VIDEO 1 input jack, you would choose VIDEO 1 as your
input. Refer to the manual that came with your monitor for details.
■ Set the Record VCR input.
This step is important. Set the VCR’s controls so that it will record what-
ever comes into its VIDEO IN jack, rather than recording a broadcast
channel. Different VCRs use different methods to do this. Your VCR’s
manual should explain how, probably in a section that discusses copying
tapes from a camcorder. Here are some common examples:
• Most VCRs have an input selector switch that goes between LINE (or AUX,
EXT, A/V, or S) and TUNER:
CAMERA
EXT
TUNER
AUDIO 2
TV / LINE
S-VHS TUNER
INPUT SELECT
LINEAUX TUNERSC
SOURCE SELECT
Set the switch to LINE. Some VCRs have more than one VIDEO IN jack
(perhaps one is S-video and one is composite). Set the switch to match the
jack you are using to connect to the MX-1.
• Some use a button on the remote control or an on-screen menu to choose
an external line source.
